While the teams are competing at the most important tournament in the Valorant scene, VCT: Masters Reykjavík, little-known names and teams started to turn heads and become the center of interest.

Like every player did, Team Liquid’s shining member Adil “ScreaM” Benrlitom was watching the all matches to gain information about the teams and players. But, he had an eye on Fnatic’s Nikita “Derke” Sirmitev.

While watching the match between Fnatic and Version1, the 26-year-old Belgian player took his official Twitter account to share a new post and revealed his opinion about Derke and praised his talent.

In the post, ScreaM mentioned that Derke is feeling really good today and said that he is one of the best players in the world right now. Also, he pointed out the impact Derke has while playing Jett. After a short period, Derke thanked ScreaM for such kind words.

Here is what ScreaM said:

“Derke is feeling it today, one of the best players in the world. Insane impact with Jett.”

Derke replied:

“Thank you brother.”

Who Is Derke And What He Achieved So Far?

Nikita “Derke” Sirmitev is a 18-year-old Finnish/Russian former CS:GO player who started his professional career with SkitLite in 2018. In April 2019, he joined KOVA Esports and benched in summer 2020.

In February 2021, Derke joined CrowCrowd as he switched to Valorant. Derke showed off his talent to the community at VCT 2021: CIS Stage 1 Challengers 2 by becoming the MVP of the tournament.

After having such a performance in a short period, Fnatic signed Derke in April. In their first tournament, Derke has become the MVP of the VCT 2021: Europe Stage 2 Challengers 2 once again as Fnatic won the trophy.

Even though they lost against Team Liquid at the VCT 2021: EMEA Stage 2 Challengers Finals, they qualified for the VCT: Masters Reykjavík. During the tournament in Iceland, Derke was also selected as the MVP of day 1 and day 5.
